I don't remember why, but I bought a bag of orange lentils the other day.  When I brought them home Marleen said, "We already have a bag of orange lentils."  Boy, did I feel dumb.  Yesterday I decided that I was going to do something about our lentil surplus.  Despite the fact that we have four or five cookbooks, I went online to find a recipe.  I discovered a few intriguing possibilities, including soups, lentil pie, and lentil veggie burgers.  I decided to try my hand at lentil veggie burgers, and I must admit that I chose the wrong recipe.  Now I have one and a half bags of orange lentils, and one really big bowl full of lentil veggie burger mix that is rather pasty, and not very exciting to eat.  It was not supposed to be this way.  My lentil veggie burgers were supposed to be delicious.  I must find a way to make them more exciting.  I refuse to throw this horrible mush away. There are children starving in Africa.

I'll keep you posted,
